well its not a version issue. I just copied the js files from to
another to confirm and the issue still persists with dom:loaded
as far as timing goes the submit buttons I'm observing for clicks are
static HTML elements. I had been assuming all static HTML is loaded
upon dom:load (but admittedly I've never looked to confirm that it
just seem to make sense =)
This does bring into question in my mind the order of onclick vs.
forum submission. right now the 2 buttons i've been testing this with
submit a form when clicked. In FF I see the alert window telling me
the 'click' observer is firing off before the form is getting
submitted. in IE6 I see nothing so is there a possibility that the
form is actually getting submitted before the 'click' observer fires
off?
Then again maybe I'm going about all of this the wrong way. what I'm
shooting for here is to show a loading spinner on the page on each
click of links and selected input buttons. hence the $$
('a','.processing'). The site I'm working on has some AJAX and each
AJAX request shows/hides a processing spinner. some of the bigger page
requests and during peak times users are multi clicking buttons
because they are looking for the AJAX processing spinner(even on non
ajax requests) rather than watching the IE window and thinking nothing
is going on. so what i sat out to do was simply show the processing
spinner via each click of an anchor tag or button which has
the .processing class attached to it. all it needs to do is .show()
the spinner div onclick but i'd rather not have to go through each
link and button to add onclick="$('spinner').show()". IE 6 is
important because this runs in XPe terminals which of course are all
running IE6 =)
